Clocks

We are learning how to tell the time accurately. Today, working in pairs, we made clocks with different materials to show our learning.

• the big hand is the minute hand and shows how many minutes 
• the little hand is the hour hand and shows the hour
• the clock shows groups of five as you move around the clock
• in between each number on the clock are 4 lines or dots that mean 4 minutes - the 5th minute is the number
• o'clock means the big hand is on the twelve and the little hand is on a number for the hour
• half past means the big hand is on the 6 and the little hand is on a number for the hour

It's really tricky learning how to tell the time
